Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are robotic systems that operate on land without an onboard human operator. They are used for a wide variety of both civilian and military applications, particularly in environments that are hazardous or unpleasant to humans and for tasks that are difficult, dull, or pose unacceptable risks. The global Unmanned Ground Vehicle market is projected to witness significant growth in the forecast period owing to its rising application in various industries.
In addition, unmanned vehicles do not require continuous involvement of manpower, hence reducing operating costs for the organization that owns the vehicle. This key fact creates higher profit margins. As well, most unmanned vehicles are integrated with advanced driving assistance systems that improve the safety features of these vehicles to avoid accidents. All these factors are boosting the growth of the global Unmanned Ground Vehicle market. Moreover, increasing preference for the application of unmanned vehicles in the defense, entertainment, and logistics industries is a crucial factor that is projected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
On the downside, the high cost of unmanned vehicles is a prime factor that is estimated to hamper the growth of the unmanned ground vehicle market during the forecast period.
Covid-19 Impact on Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market:
The outbreak of the covid-19 has a severe and swift impact on the automobile and transportation industry. This is majorly due to the shutdown of assembly plants in the US, interruptions across Europe in large-scale manufacturing, and disruption in the export of Chinese parts. In addition to this, the industry is dealing with reduced demand across the globe due to changes in customer behavior and shifts in a supply-demand chain. A recent study shows a 39% decline in sales of automotive all over the world. Moreover, the nationwide lockdowns have substantially affected the transportation sector. Restrictions on transportation accounted for a 45 to 55% decline in public as well as private transport sectors.
Unmanned Ground Vehicle Market Segment Overview
Based on the size, the small UGV segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR rate for the unmanned ground vehicle market during the forecast period. These UGVs are provided with capabilities to carry out missions related to Explosive Ordnance Disposal, counter IED, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions, Toxic Industrial Chemicals, and Toxic Industrial Materials reconnaissance missions.
According to operation, the autonomous is the largest segment in the market. The autonomous mode allows self-sufficiency, and thus they can perform tasks and execute operations without any human interference. In addition to this, advanced capabilities, such as secure communications and control, autonomous path following and obstacle avoidance, automatic target tracking, and data compression in UGVs, are anticipated to help the military in Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition missions.
